Planning For Spring
By Angela Riley
Most of us can't wait for Spring time, with spring knocking on our door we can't help but have a bit of Spring fever showing through.
Each year we wait for the first beautiful day, being able to enjoy feeling the gentle breeze upon your face. Slowly walking within the limits of your yard, and taking notice of all that needs to be done this spring. Why not start planning ahead of time?
If you are like most people such as I, You have many ideas in mind. You may have ideas to make your yard more pleasing to the eye. Maybe you would love to attract more butterflies, or birds. You and your loved ones have really been thinking about a new patio to enjoy for summer gatherings. How do you decide with so many choices to make? Take charge, is how.
First you must get yourself a note book and write down any ideas that come to mind. Ideas always have a strange way of peeking through. As strange as they may be at times, write them down.
Sort them into two lists. One for items that are in need of repair or replacement, and one for new items you would like to build or add to your yard. This helps narrow the list down.
Afterwards you will want to prioritize each task you want to complete. Break them down into tasks that you want to accomplish in the short term or the long term. Tasks could consume a few days or others may take up to a week or more.
Set a goal to work on, one task at a time. Never try to tackle more than one task at a time. This only leads to frustration and many tasks left incomplete.
Now that you have all of your ideas wrote down and prioritized, next you want to consider the price range you want to stay between. Write out a budget plan, and start comparison pricing at your local stores in and around your area.
Take a small notebook with a list of items for each of your projects. Write down prices from each store to help with your comparison.
With that in mind, have you considered if you will need to hire someone to help complete your project or considered asking family and friends? These are things you must think about when writing your budget plan as well. It could raise or lower your budget.
Having decided how much you want to spend, and your list of projects you prioritized, make sure you have broken down each and made a list of items for each of your projects.
This will give you the upper hand while shopping. Remember to set up a time for hired workers, family or friends you want to help with completing your projects.
Do this far in advance. Remember spring time is a busy time of year for everyone.
In following each of the steps provided will give you a great head start this spring for completing all of your projects.
